The implementation of Attention-Based LSTM for Psychological Stress Detection from Spoken Language Using Distant Supervision paper. The idea is to consider the importance of every word from the inputs and use it in the classification. Then the importance scores are normalized through the softmax layer. The weighted sum of the score and hidden states in every time-step is used for the classification.

Please find stress datasets in the data/ directory. The interview dataset is saved in the csv format and the tweet dataset are stored in the npy format.

The architecture of the model is illustrated by the following

You can easily get the attention weights from the model and visualize them
